Here is the route I originally planned: I am thinking of a ride down Walden Creek Rd from Pigeon forge. It comes out at the entrance to the Foothills Parkway. Across the Foothills parkway to 129. West on 129 to 72 and west to 411. South on 411 to 360. South on 360 to 165 which turns into 143 which is the Cherohala parkway. Across the Cherohala to Horseshoe Cove Rd/Santeetlah/Joyce Kilmer rd. and back to 129. (Optional lunch in Robbinsville @ my friend Lynn's Place restaurant) Take 129 across the Dragon. Take Happy Valley Rd up the back way to the top of the Foothills Parkway and back to 321 and Pigeon Forge. Let me know if you need me to do this. Thanks again for all of your organizing and work. Bob
